thanks for a helicopter mod for v1.6

Very nice work

never mind, all the vehicle that fly cant ride mech

thank you for your mod, just got a small question, so I just realize that, I cant take my mech as a passenger on this heli, is that what it should be?

Thank you immensely for updating, my raiding wouldn't be the same without the whir of twin helicopter blades announcing the coming of impending doom.

1.6?

All recipes use same amount of components but they add up to the same market value when 'work to make' value is considered (when I made it); Also dependency is already in the file and shows even with Mod Manager installed

I've been thinking about the recipe for this; if we're using Rimthunder, shouldn't some of the vanilla components be replaced by fueling or transmission components? And shouldn't the vanilla component cost be reduced a bit for using an engine too? Working out the cost of these means that it costs 80 components and over 2000 steel with the Engine Industries recipe, compared to 1500 steel and 50 components without.

You really need to add that this depends on, and must be loaded after, the Vehicle Framework into the mod metadata. Otherwise if it is loaded before, it crashes the game.

How to fix the helicopter disappearing problem? 1.5

this is actually a great alternative for bulk troop transport, the cherokee from VVE only carries 2 people.

16x the detail yes but 5x less the cargo cap TODD!!

insert fallout 76 meme here

lol like the poke at Bethesda and todd howard with 16x the detail

did you left logging on>??

mechanoids cant board the ship :c

It works well for me but for some reason I don't hear any sound effects when it lands, only when it takes off. Is that normal?

First time updating to 1.5 might cause red error and helicopter disappearing

need 1.5 plz

1.5 plz

I needed this, thank you

can i perform epic medevac on this helicopter?
will developer add more helicopters?

@Spaxxow i hope to see more of them added with this cuz i use 4 of these bad boys and it would be nice to use different ones and see them flying around the map to my other bases

@TheEventHorizon
Yeah I still use both, one as heavy lift, the other as heavy transport.
@wshields021202
Yeah I check here frequently for the UH-60.

could a UH-60 and other helicopters be added into this mod? i love this H-47 and everything about it. it works great and with the animation makes it even better.

I still prefer this over the Tier 3 Chinook. I really like the takeoff and landing animation and I like that it's an actual chinook instead of just a really close interpretation of it.

Now somewhat Obsolete with the addition of Tier 3's Chinook tho that one is more of a dedicated cargo transport with double the cargo of this one but no space for passengers (adds a Huey for that role instead)

I Downloaded and enabled both mods (vehice framework)

there is no research poppigng up to unlock it.

Anything wrong ?

I do not have DLCs (but they werent listed as prerequisite here tho)

I love you, finally something good and lightweight.

Trading has never been this smooth

CE COMPATIBLE???

Before, he added windows, now 16 times the detail, all that's left is sound and the mod's complete

@Rainwithered thanks king

If you're using rimpy to compress the texture, be sure to delete the compressed textures and recompress after you resubscribe to this mod. Doing that fixed the issue for me.

Resubscribing the mod should fix the issue
I increased image size to 2 times and maybe Steam haven't got to download it yet, so forcing an update should resolve the issue
Please tell me if it still does not fix it

Same for me. It got squished! Graphic appears vertically compressed.

After the latest update, the vehicle's graphic seems messed up. Can you check?

WINDOWS

Hey, there's windows now. Nice.

How do I change the color?

3600 steel?! Oh my god where do i even store that?

3600 steel and 50 components for 2400 kg cargo. That's cool but maybe you could do 1200 kg of cargo and 25 componentes + 1600 steel. 3600 steel is just crazy man

I love the concept and the look of it. Only thing I am worried about, is that it seems to have multitudes more carrying capacity than anything else currently available

Yes, one of these monsters SHOULD carry far more than this, but compared to the rest of what is available in VVE, this dwarfs everything on the board by up to FOUR times at best xD

Will you be adding sounds for the take off and landing?

CE?

How do you craft with vve

Can prisoners be transported?

I will honestly boost the carry capacity if VF updates to support carrying vehicles, as of now I will keep it as is, I know SRTS will have spaceship added rather soon and I don't want a helicopter to have more capacity than a spaceship
There is plans to make more helicopters but I have other things in the making already

I also would say the carrying capacity could be bumped some for sake of accuracy, but maybe to keep balance make it a mark 2 version or something? Same as the basic one for sake of not needing to write even more code for VF, but add in plasteel and advanced components (Or more engines, etc from EI). Main thought is that I could use one to haul around other really heavy vehicles with the increased weight capacity. Just an idea, no need to actually consider it if you don't feel like it.

Love the chinook and it goes very well with my RH² modlist, thanks for the hard work! Any plans for more helicopters of this era?

Chinook IRL can carry around 11,000 KGs, 2400 is a bit low tbh. Is it lower for balance reasons? If not it should definitely be bumped up a decent amount.

A recent update on the Vehicles Framework has added a Vehicles tab, you can put it there now :)
